Is this the most depressing city on the planet?

Have you heard of Norilsk, Russia? Probably not, because it’s not exactly a place people talk about. It’s a nickel mining city, it’s among the most polluted cities on the earth, it’s in the permafrost zone (meaning nothing grows there). In Norilsk, blood illnesses are 44% higher, nervous system illnesses are 38% higher, and bone and muscle system illnesses 28% higher among children in Norilsk than in other Siberian cities. So congrats, Norilsk. You may be the most depressing city on the planet.
